Not only that, you guys seem to have a big amount of techincal debt. The macOS client was writing like.. 100-200Gb a day just a few months ago, and that was going on for months already until the noise about it picked up in the media. Now th

Note that I said average person. They will never touch a command line, so apt-get is out, and the Ubuntu Software Center is buggy as hell. Compare that to macOS: Drag app in .dmg to 'Applications' folder: installed. Drag app from

Please don't put a smile after that. Corporate tax evasion is a blight on society and people facilitating it are scum. Pay your dues, just like the people of a society have to.

Snaps (and Flatpaks) are awesome for publishers of apps and laypersons though. There's a reason the average person sees the macOS style of installation (and removal) as the gold standard.

Dropbox isn't an OS storage, photo storage, mail storage, mobile devices backup all rolled into one (and all of that switched on by default) Comparing with Google Drive is fair, but the aforementioned stuff is why Google offers a fair

Nothing is off. Everyone who has even a bit of business sense can very clearly see that Apple is maxing its profit margins. They're dropping anything (relatively) low margin like Airport and Cinema Displays. They're charging an ar

No one except Americans themselves see the USA as the holy grail of modern democracy. That honor would probably befall one of either the West European or Scandinavian countries.

For me personally I still wouldn't risk it with meat or fish. What if the brand you actually eat wasn't researched and actually does contain BPA (or a similarly unhealthy replacement) and thus you ingest it? Better safe then so

You should make Firefox feel native to each platform and follow its conventions, instead of trying to have a sort of unifying 'Firefox look' that feels out of place everywhere. Using platform-specific enhancements (like VideoToolB

Safari has done tab throttling for years. Things like that are why Chrome used to cut battery life in half compared to Safari. I don't understand people who complain about something that's essentially a feature, not a problem.

Man... I feel your pain.. been in the same situation a few times, but why not just shame-roll (drop the bar to one side and just sort of wriggle out from under it on the opposing side)? It sucks but keeps you safe.

For all people saying this has been fixed: my Spotify on macOS regularly will spike to 90% usage when idling and stay there until I kill it. Reinstalls change nothing.
